Bookmark toolbar folders show blank drop down box

Basically since the last update, about half the time when I try to open one of the folders on my bookmarks toolbar, it will show a translucent drop down box instead of showing the bookmarks in that folder. You can still click where any of those of bookmarks would be if they were showing and they will take you to the appropriate site. My only way around this is to keep clicking on and off the folder until they show up normally.

Updating seems to fix it, but now I have to find workarounds to several other problems.

Tabs on top looks awful and it looks like it's forced now.

This update broke my status bar add-on.

This update broke my theme.


I'm still on Firefox because it usually allows for great customization but it seems like all they're doing now with each update is killing that vibe and trying to be more "cool" like Google with chrome.

Classic Theme restorer seems to be sufficient enough to remove the new bloated features. No disrespect to Mozilla; I know you guys work hard on this stuff, but UI should be customizable and optional, never forced. You work on making the gears turn, and I'll decide how pretty I want it.
